What do you think the chances are for a brokered convention at this point? I can't see the RNC wanting to go forward with him as the candidate given any other choice at all.

Unless Cruz or Trump pulls out and supports the other, now, we will have either Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan running for President.

Either one will set a record for losing and we'll have President Hillary.

Too much is up in the air. Trump seems to be working overtime trying to implode the last week or so.

Probably excellent, and on both sides of the aisle. The establishment elite don't like either Trump or Sanders -- neither of whom were ever supposed to get as far as they both did. Hillary has shot her wad, and may not get through to Election Day without an indictment hanging over her head, and Sanders is surging.

Trump has also been slipping, due to his self-destructive ways: first regarding Cruz's wife, and now in regard to a woman reporter who was roughed up while covering a Trump campaign event. There's a good chance he won't be going into the Republican convention with the magic number, 1237, delegates. As for the Dems and their Super Delegate system, who knows what they'll do?

Ryan v. Biden wouldn't surprise me in the least, come Election Day.

I like Michelle, and was hoping she was telling the truth.

Whether she was or not there is no doubt Trump and his guy lied and smeared her.

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't rise to the level of assault for me.

But what it does tell me is that women, ALL women, should be barred from news reporting, immediately. Why? Well because even though they claim they wanted to be treated exactly like men, the truth is that they want to be treated special, like delicate little flowers, and the fact that so many people are lining up to 'defend' her bullshit just shows that yes, women should NOT be allowed to be in any job where they might find themselves touched by a man.

She was not roughly handled, she was not thrown or pushed down, she did not almost lose her balance. This is the second view I've seen of it, and I still think she's full of it. She pressed in and was pulled back. OMG! The horror of it all.

I agree women in any place where physical contact can take place is a growing hazard to men.

Whether she was or wasn't manhandled inappropriately Trump and his guy outright lied through their teeth and worked overtime to smear her and cost her jobs.

Donald Trump makes a very good point in the beginning of this video.

No, he doesn't.

The point isn't that she was assaulted. Originally all she asked for was an apology. As a result of that she was driven out of Breitbart.com and off of Cashin In, with the Trump smear machine on constant attack, demanding she either admit she lied or press charges. She pressed charges.

Meanwhile, Trump's man Lewandowski and Trump are the ones who argued that no incident took place of any kind. Various camera angles were provided. This overhead shot is new. Now that the overhead shot is out Trump is claiming it came from him and she had it coming for touching him first. Their stories changed.

One of the more important takeaways from this situation: Trump and his crew are bold-faced serial liars.

Absolutely. And I just watched him do it again for five solid minutes on the GOP town hall. Obvious deflection and filibuster.

"...attacking a woman then denying it and smearing her"

Isn't that traditionally more of a Clinton thing? Bill attacks a woman then both Clintons deny and smear.

Blackshirts vs Brownshirts. Coke/Pepsi. Pick your statist megalomaniac.

Donald learned from his donation recipients.

Donald and Hillary are pretty close friends by the way..... "you're the company you keep" rings a bell right there.

The Trump Cult will claim otherwise, but yes. Best case scenario he admits he paid well for favors - what should be a disqualifier.
